Anthony started Nintendo Life way back in late 2005 and has remained at the helm ever since. He loves Nintendo but sometimes gets confused and starts telling everyone that F-Zero X is the best F-Zero game. We've tried getting him help, but alas...

Did something I’ve never done before, preordered a digital game in the form of Project Nimbus. Other than that, may find something to use up some expiring Gold Coins. The majority of the weekly deals never even remotely interests me most of the time, but I guess that saves the pennies.

Sniper elite is awesome I’m loving it. Never played one before so didn’t know what to expect. My kinda game this. I’m always wary of shooters now because I’m so sick of cod but this is totally different experience. I’m playing through on hardest difficulty and I find it perfect for me. A nice challenge

Thankfully nothing in the sale for me this week, the big sale they've had recently has run down my eShop balance. Castlevania is added to my wishlist for now but need to play some of the games I got in the sale first.
